Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Sydney
Get an Opal card for public transport. Daily cap is AUD $17 on weekdays, cheaper on weekends. Works on all metro, bus, ferry, light rail.
Always swim between the red and yellow flags at beaches. Lifeguards patrol these areas. Never swim alone or at night.
Sydney is expensive. Save money by eating at Asian restaurants on George Street or food courts. BYO restaurants let you bring your own wine.

location.payment.cash
Nearly cashless. Cards and contactless everywhere. Public transport accepts contactless (Visa/Mastercard) - no Opal card needed. Parking meters card-only.
location.payment.currency_exchange
Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, or Westpac ATMs best - no foreign fees at most. Avoid Circular Quay and Darling Harbour tourist exchange kiosks - 12-15% markup. Sydney Airport Travelex terrible - 10% worse than city. The Rocks area exchanges overpriced. For large amounts, use Wise digital instead. King Street and Martin Place financial district banks fair for cash exchange if needed.
location.payment.tipping
0%
Tipping not expected in Australia. Service charge included. 10% appreciated for exceptional service.
Safety
Caution required
Avoid remote areas, especially at night
Sydney is very safe. Exercise normal precautions. Watch for pickpockets in tourist areas. Swim only at patrolled beaches between red and yellow flags. Be cautious of strong rip currents.
